An Instant Message of Sorts

TOPIC: Listening

SCRIPTURE: "And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say..." (Luke 6:20)

OBSERVATION: To ensure that you get the context I've included verses 17-19 "Jesus came down with the disciples and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of his followers, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured. And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all."

AND

In the midst of this large crowd

Jesus turns and speaks directly to his disciples

***Even if you have just finished the reading for today I encourage you to read Luke 6:20-49 again

BECAUSE

there is a

WHOLE LOT

of Life-changing stuff

packed in those verses

APPLICATION: Do you have a Facebook account? If not you should set one up. It has been a great way to reconnect with old friends. Recently I was on Facebook and in the midst of this enormous network of people I received and Instant Message from a friend. This person shared some very specific pieces of information I responded and then we parted ways. I love instant messaging. With it you are able to get right to the point, you can be short sweet and to the point, I love it.

Have you ever been in the midst of a crowd only to have The Holy Spirit "turn" and send you an "instant message"?

What did He say?

How did He say it?

What method did He use to communicate with you?

Do you still remember what He said specifically?

Did you obey?

Are you still obeying?

Listen!
Did you hear that?

The Holy Spirit is speaking
Is He speaking to you?

R U Listening?

PRAYER: Father God, thank you for sending the Holy Spirit to live in me. Thank you that He is not a mute, and thank you that I am not deaf to His voice!

[In case you didn't get the message from the other day. Due to several reasons I am going to try and stay one day ahead on my blogs. I hope that doesn't mess you up. Joey]
